Or you said the opposite, then your words are in the extreme of denial and invalidity, or you said we analogized it to its like, then your analogy is of two different types (Discussion on analogy and the clarification of its types)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) says:
"Or you said the opposite" meaning the opposite of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) "then your words are in the extreme of denial and invalidity"
Meaning your words are invalid and denied, because whoever contradicts the saying of Allah and His Messenger, his words are rejected and returned, and they are invalid and denied.
"Or you said we analogized it to its like, then your analogy is of two types"
Meaning you said that we analogize this to this, meaning we establish the ruling by analogy, so we say: "Analogy is of two types
A type that contradicts its text is impossible, and that is invalid in the sight of Allah"
A type that contradicts the text; it is impossible for this to be valid, rather it is invalid. It is called by the scholars of principles defective in consideration. Every text, every analogy that contradicts the text, is an invalid, rejected text, defective in consideration.
"And our speech regarding it" meaning regarding the analogy that contradicts the text.
"And our speech is not regarding anything else, meaning the second type of analogy
that does not contradict its text"
Meaning we invalidate the analogy that contradicts the text, as for the second type of analogy that does not contradict the text, we do not deny it.
"So people have acted upon it in all times"
